That second to last pic look familiar, is that hwy 190 between Lampasas and Copperas Cove? What route did you take? There are some good open roads out there just watch out for the occassional DPS.

yes, it was 190. we took 190 back towards the north from llano. and thankfully we didn't see almost any cops the whole time we were out...we only saw 1, but he was busy with someone else as the train rolled by!
